Swimming

Lilly began swimming lessons this week. She has a half-hour class in the big pool, and then we go to the wading pool and play for an hour or so before heading home. Last year we did the parent/toddler class together, but this year she's in the pool all by herself. Being the last session of the summer, Lilly is one of two students in her class, so they get lots of practice time.

On the first day, the other little boy in the class cried through the whole half-hour. Today, I got to be the mom in those shoes. Despite the fact that Lilly likes everything except going under, she cried through almost the whole class today. I was sitting closer to the pool in order to take pictures, so maybe that upped the drama factor. Tomorrow I'll be less conspicuous.

Here are some photos. She was so excited to use her new goggles this morning that she wanted to eat her breakfast wearing the goggles. Too cute!
